A compact car charger, model 8105, that plugs into the 12V accessory socket to charge your phone and other USB devices on the move. It keeps a phone topped up for sat nav on a long drive, so you are not arriving with a flat battery, and it is small enough to leave in the socket permanently.
Type: in-car USB charger
Power: 12V accessory socket
Model: 8105
Fitment: suits any car or van with a standard accessory socket. Check the listing details for the number and type of ports, the output current and whether a cable is included before ordering.
Practical tip: plug the phone in and set your route before you move off, and mount the phone in a holder rather than leaving it on the seat or in a cup holder. Keep the cable clear of the gear lever and handbrake. Holding or using a hand-held phone while driving carries 6 penalty points and a £200 fine, which is enough to cost a new driver their licence.
